Nanotoxicity effects

Designing Safer Chemicals Chemical products should be designed to effect their desired function while minimizing their toxicity. (Nanotoxicity and nanoparticle lifecycle in the environment needs to be elosely studied.)... 

Currently, in vitro models, though giving very value data, are inadequate to predict potential hazards to humans and to rationalize transition through clinical trials to the market. In vitro approaches yield incomplete information and they do not symbolize a realistic model of how NPs will interact with a specific organ of the body. For an instance, if the toxic effects of NPs are connected to inflammation, simple in vitro assays may not be sufficient for examining the toxic potential. Hence currently information, obtained for in vitro studies involve verification from in vivo experiments to precisely evaluate nanotoxicity ...
